Who U Calling A B@#$%? (Prt 2)

Just to follow up on the previous blog, I wasn't advocating for the liberty to use the word "Bitch."

If you parallel the ascension/status of the "n" word to that of the "b" word, then you can observe similar symptoms.

When the white boys listened to hip hop (80% of retail rap consumers), they were conditioned and became numb to the word in regards to engaging that word with black people and it's application.

So when I say '...I want to be allotted the freedom to do so if that's what it is in 2011!" , I'm foreshadowing the next progression of mentality for male's if not echoing their current sentiment. I'm sure that was the mentality for non-blacks after years of hearing the "n-word" (If they say it, call themselves that, why can't I?")

Also, My main point was NOT to focus on deterring from women degradation. That's implicit.

I'm focusing on the usage of that word being shared between women, women claiming that word as a source of empowerment/identification, and the acceptance of that whole phenomenon.

I contest that at this rate, the application of the word "bitch" will be on par to that of the word "nigger."

Some people may say that it's already on par, but I don't think government officials, corporate America workers and preachers are calling their colleagues "bitch" behind closed doors.

But keep it real, how many government officials, corporate America workers and preaches call their colleagues "nigga" behind closed doors? A lot would be an understatement.

I'll put it in another perspective. If a black guy came to a group of black females and one of the females said a funny joke, it wouldn't be out of bounds for the guy to tell the females: "Ya'll niggas are crazy."

Now take that same scenario and change the words of the guy's reply to the joke. In a pleasant and non-threatening tone, if he would've said "Ya'll bitches are crazy", it would've been received in a negative way.

My friend asked me earlier why I don't devote as much energy into the "n" word as I do the "b" word. That's because, at this point, the "n" word is in it's terminal stages of cancer. It's a wrap for the "n" word. We can only hope that a non-black doesn't step out of bounds and says "nigga" in your presence,regardless any connotation, and in that same breathe that non-black should implicitly know the punitive ramifications of making that mistake.

There's still a chance we can prevent this "bitch" phenomenon from entering said "terminal" stages of the word 'nigga.' I believe the situation is only benign, but we've got to stop the "bitch on bitch crime." (Said in a provocative, harmless, bust your balls, ironic, intended to be sarcastic tone)

I have a little princess of a niece. I cringe to think of a world where females feel empowered by claiming to be anything bitch.

The same friend I mentioned previously told me the only way or only answer to this crisis is in the word, so with that said I'll leave you with "The Wife of Noble Character" (Proverbs 31:26):

She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
